  • Very impressive for an original song...keep it up, and keep the dream alive brotha...

  • This is great man! Love it.

    I would love to join you in music making sometime,

    Drummer living in Floyd, VA

  • Dude I really enjoyed this. I would definately pitch this song to some people. Good Luck

  • The song was nice, I think the opening drum beat the Highhat is a little to loud. I would pull it back a bit int he mix. Also the song is a bit long and you loose intrest after about 3:20. REal nice and tight sounding. Godd job

  • dude this is awsome! i found it on craigslist of all places but this is really good. i agree you really got something with this!

  • I here the old band TROUBLE in the vocals alot, there on youtube.What effects are on the vocals and how man overdubs.

    Very good one man band dude, I give you mad props.

  • Damn good man!

  • Travis, would you send me the lyrics to this so my band can play (cover) it? Love the sound of this song. Good comment/suggestions from everyone. Where are you located? I found your link on Craigslist

  • love it man but i think your hi hat is wayyyy too loose just saying but great man

  • I could offer criticism but the main thing is the song and the energy is better than most of what's out there. Please don't stop. Send us more. You have something here.

  • good vocal takes, lose the effect on the guitar or tune them better... the best part of the song is the harmony on the bridge/prechorus

    everyone told you about the drums...

    also try a reverb send track and put some of the guitars and bass in it. also, look up parallel compression or NY compression for your drums.

  • is the same guy playing all the instruments in the video??? sounds ok, but it's way, way too long - this should be 3 minutes tops.

  • I can dig it, found a link to it on Craigslist. Tight vocals, bass was low but you already realized that haha Drums were kind of boring, maybe more fills or variation in the beat?

    Overall I really liked it!

  • WOW...I followed this from your South FL. CL link and really enjoyed your song. Good recording quality and nice vocals. Tell the drummer to tighten up his hats so they don't make so much noise and you've already said that you're working on a better instrument mix. Don't worry about your solo work...more people relate to well written songs and good vocals than Eddie Van Halen solo's. What equipment do you record on? Keep up the good work!

  • This sounds great, the only thing that can be Improved on would be the drums, This has alot that could be done with, with the right drummer!

  • gritty very cool- understated video...and yes harmonies are cool and overall vibe...

    "presidents"- of usa - and ditto on other influences...love the concept...have had and heard stories and all nite phonathons.

  • Nice stuff. I like the vocal a lot . The song has a very nice bridge and it's very well arranged. It has a Lennonish quality to it. I would only say bring the bass up in the mix and pull back the hi hat. But , you're a talented guy and gotta keep doing more of this stuff.

  • all i can say is well done my friend, u managed to do everything and thats something to say. everybody is a critic and ull never please everyone! i thought it was a cool video too, keep it up. btw r u in ft. myers? i saw ur ad in cl thats why i ask.

  • Sounds damn good to me for what it is intended to be.

  • does the engineer have something against bass?

  • @floridabusinessbroke I know, I mixed it too low... I need to improve my monitoring setup. It is obviously too bass heavy which is leading me to mix the bass too low. I appreciate the feedback, thanks!

  • this is fucking great bro

  • Comment removed

  • Solid! I hear a lot of Lennon and White Stripes in this. I've already got it stuck in my head, man. : P

  • @texaswilliam Thanks! They are definite influences.

  • @texaswilliam

    I hear alot of Lenny Kravitz meets BREAD

  • @texaswilliam From the intro I thought it was a rip off of Tom Pettys Last Dance with Mary Jane lol. Is it just me of is one of your strings out of tune, I can hear it slightly out of tune, might be your b string. Anyway it was pretty solid for a home recording dude

  • keep on jjaamm'nn

  • love the vocals

  • no...just no...

  • Sell your kidney, buy some studio time and make it big so I can see you in concert.

  • I usually don't like most "original" music, but this is an exception....because it's good. Really good.

    I also agree with alot of the constructive comments on here but that's just technical stuff and easily altered.

    The hardest stuff to do, like writing and performing is really solid.

  • I don't mind the aggressive hi-hat a bit, kinda reminds me of seven mary 3

  • Good job man!!! Its been a hell of a long time since I've actually listened to a full song from a link out of craigslist!!! The Verse was badass!!!

  • It might be better if the guitar was in tune-

    just sayin'-

  • I dig the hook, but you've got to clean up the vocals a little bit. I can't understand what you're singing.

  • Uncool.

  • Black People

  • Loved it, I think a high end studio could do wonders with the quality.

  • Awesome...kinda reminded me of "James Gang" AT THE BEGINING BRO...

    You are beyond good Thanks.

  • Nice job! One suggestion- invest in some better hi-hat cymbals.

  • its a lenny kravitz song

  • also guitar is out of tune..... and you need to work on you're guitar tone... solos need to be an extension of you're emotion.... not just a scale up and down... i would get some compression and an eq on your tone....

  • I have no idea what the hell your saying.... yeah...

  • Nice video! But I'd like to hear it with the compression turned down on the guitar. The "twang" is bugging me a bit. Other than that, good job!

  • I like the vocals man! The Rhythm guitars sound a bit out of tune..... Good job anyway!

  • If it was mine, I would tighten it up, get it down to 3:00 to 3:30. Go through the lyrics and keep the strongest ones. Do short, sharp solos. Less is more. You can do the extended version when you've sold a million copies and headline Madison Square Garden.

  • found this on craigslist, most amazed by your vocal ability. If you need a lead guitarist I'll help out, you know, to fill in those counter melodies. Good stuff.

  • I'm usually not a fan of this kind of music, but I really enjoyed this song. Great job, my only suggestion would be to try and bring down the levels on the cymbals- they're a bit overpowering.

  • This sucks. It sounds like a thousand other pieces of crap. Learn to pick that thang.

  • Good song... thumbs up

  • Clones with perfect pitch are cool!

    Clones with perfect pitch, solid technical skills, imagination, patience, and "shameless self promotion" are PRICELESS !!!!!

  • Hey, Travis, way Neat Excellent example!!!!!!!!!...imho...yep, yep, yep...

    The rest of us are sooooo many critics with so little time, patience and imagination.

    ...imho, don'cha know!?!!

    I like your work! Clones with perfect pitch are cool!

  • Dude, that chorus is pretty much rad. Not a bad jam at all. i usually hate most craigslist projects. The singing reminds me of Ween : ) and the yelling parts kinda remind me of STP (so so, IMO). Kinda stoked on this

  • As Adam Sandler would say, "Not too shabby"!

  • Tom Petty called, he wants his chord progressions and rhythm back!

  • @KisteFoder does he want his cat? Cause he left it too. :)

  • Nice tune!! the band looks like a bunch of clones though !-)

  • haha the beginning sounds like Cumbersome

  • Came across this at 3 in the morning via craigslist. if only i was drinking heavy horse instead of burning sky.

  • @peckstr I will have to try burning sky!

  • Came across this at 3 in the morning via craigslist.

  • i was on craigslist and found this. actually not that bad bro.

  • Lol it's good man.. i was going to say it was craigslist spam, but it isn't

  • Sounds really solid, nice work. Thanks for the video.

  • Nice tune, I like it!

  • Great job!

  • Liked it , Had maybe Beatles Flare to it . only thing I would change is the high hat.but thats coming from a drummer,Very Good Job

  • somewhere about 2:20 i found myself singing along. So, good song.

  • @216trixie I love it! thanks!

  • nice effects. I am trippin' baby!  hey, if it's 3am why is there light outside the window? give that artist a 50% raise!!

  • nice effects. I am trippin' baby!

  • Nice song! Really enjoyed the video!

  • Really liked it--loved the vocal harmonies. My feedback--given only because you solicited it--would be to concentrate on the solo a little more. The song had a lot of great energy and a really polished solo would have add to it. I also agree with the other guy's comments about the high hat being too loud. It's tough to mic an acoustic kit--maybe you could have addressed the high-frequency buildup with EQ. Check out my stuff on bandcamp.com under "uberloser."

  • @johnfkiii Excellent feedback! Thanks!

  • LOVIN it. movin out to portland soon

    hope to catch you there

  • @jacobcozy thats where im at also. the music here is great

  • The drums & lead guitar are very weak. All of the vocals & bass are great. The song itself is has a good hook and I like it.

  • I like this! Maybe collab w a producer or engineer to help dial it in a bit but I think with some tweaking and maybe hire a couple cats to play some of the parts, you could have a hit. I love the vibe of it, simple and ballsy. Don't lose that. The bridge seems to be lacking something, mostly on the drumming end of it. But I really like the song. The vocals are really cool. I'd say if this is what you have for starters, then this song has huge potential. Best of Luck. -Nic, from Milonga.

  • The Vocal Performance was fantastic! The song is good but pretty repetitive. I would cut it Down to About 3.5 minutes maximum. There's just no need for it to be More. It would make it much more exciting and memorable If you cut it down a lot. I lIke That the hOok Is A simple guItar Riff. iT's catchy. The drums were lame. Video looked good but wasn't Really entertaining. I would listen to the song ahain though foR sure My band is Cole Grifter, check out Our video for Habit On youtube. KEep rockin

  • And ignore the Misplaced capital letters Please; I'm typing on a stupid iPod app.

  • Good song i'd prefer to hear a closed hi-hast instead of the open one. gives it more of a solid tone instead of sounding like a jam band just throwing down some tracks

  • just my opinion of course... grain of salt and such.

  • not quite my cup o tea but thought i'd drop ya a message since you asked for feedback. the loose high hat seemed a little loud but it looked like you were just one mic'ing your set so theres not much to do there. guitar little out of tune or i think it sounds like you have 2 guitar tracks and the tuning is out of synch. bass is definately a little low. REALLY fantastic vocals, best part. decent production sans aforementioned issues. solid songwriting. elliott smith/heatmiser influence a bit?

  • Why don't you bring the lead guitar up a little more during the solo? Maybe throw a few more pull-offs, and multiple string licks into it as well, it seems to kind of wander there in the middle of it. The drum sync from 3:03-3:09, however, is quite cool.

  • catchy lyrics, great singing. good guitar hook. terrible drumming. song too long. good vid production. Could use an a capella breakdown after the guitar solo for interest. Little bit Beatles, Elliot Smith, Soundgarden etc. very nice!

  • Hell Ya! Getting your Rock On! Nice song
